So the British avoided bloody revolution? That'll probably come as a surprise to Zombie Charles I. I suppose we're not supposed to mention that because Cromwell was a devout puritan but this didn't stop him from descending into extreme brutality (pro tip: don't say anything nice about Cromwell in an Irish pub, it's unlikely to end well, although that may not matter much to the A Beka people, what with those Irish being heathen Papists and all).

I believe it was Jeremy Clarkson who once observed that without beer, civilization would have been impossible, at least the modern, urban form of civilization. Probably not an original thought of his, but he's the first person I'd heard express it in such simple terms.

It would take too long to go through all the math.

Hmmm. Beer and gin or sewage-infested water? WWJD?

Yeah, I was looking forward to a passage about how Cromwell nearly saved the English from all that "reason" and "enlightenment"

You'll probably be beaten to death with history books.

Well done, although probably fruitless. They'll likely just blank.

If you get another shot, point out to them that saying God cannot do anything "contrary to the Word of God" is fucking blasphemy, because who are they to tell God what the "Word of God" is?

Gordon's. She's kind of an old school Deb in her own mind.

Thank you for asking so didn't have to. Every time I see a little pony I worry about Petey. Maybe a big old box of porcelain carrots would get him back for a Cocktober visit to the old homestead.
